FTDI Chip Vinco Touch-Key Shield

FTDI Vinco Touch-Key Shield is a shield that mates with the FTDI Vinco development module to allow touchpad operation. The shield includes a STMPE821 device, which is an 8-channel GPIO capacitive touch-key sensor. The sensor communicates to the Vinculum-II (VNC2), on the Vinco module, via I2C protocol. The FTDI Vinco Touch-Key Shield also mates with the Vinco development platform to enable Open Accessory Mode in Android devices.
